Barbara Barber told us that Knitted Knockers make prosthetics for women who have had mastectomies. They do this all at their own cost and ship them to the women in need. It is simply to help the women who have had this surgery.

She started this project a month ago, has made 20 so far and has already been able to help 3 people. She is going to visit the breast cancer bra fitter in Bolton, the Mastectomy fitter in Jackson, the Baptist Cancer Center in Jackson, and deliver some to the Jackson Medical Mall in Jackson which is part of the University Medical Center.

We asked Barbara why she does this and she replied “I do this because “there but for the grace of God go I.” I had the scare of breast cancer about 10 years ago and I know how frightening it is. I have just retired from my job and have the opportunity to do something for someone else who is in need.”
